My Pain
"Oh my, John, twins. TWINS!" Victoria, the said twins' mother, exclaimed. "Yes, Victoria, twins, now what will their names be? We only have one for a girl and one for a boy, but the pair is both girls," John explained to his wife knowing that "Piper" and "James" were the only names they thought of. "Jane? Valerie? Oh I do not know!" their mother screamed in frustration, "It's only a name. We are in the hospital so don't scare the newborns like Piper and whoever she is," her husband replied when an idea struck him, "How about Patricia?" Victoria smiled sweetly at the sound of her name, "Sounds like mine. I love the name," They both smiled knowing the twins' names.

AT HOME
They carried their children home, one in Victoria's and one in John's arms. "Don't they look like angels?" John asked her wife, "They certainly do, and I hope they will be when they grow up," Victoria replied, while they both laughed and put them down on the crib.
Their parents were very happy about their new children, they were very kind to them and were patient in training them to be independent, thoughtful, kind, and to be sensible.
Patricia and Piper were like magnets, nothing could get them away from each other. They shared their room, toys, clothes, things and everything, except their secrets.
Patricia's secret was a secret wish, to be like Piper, well-liked, kind, sweet, generous and lucky. Piper's was to be a pianist who would teach piano and play at the finest restaurants in the world. This seems too good to be true, but watch her grow, and you'll surely regret saying it is impossible.
At five years old, Piper showed a strong passion in playing piano, while Patricia was too slow to even find the next key, making her envy Piper much more than before.
Piper wouldn't even try to put any effort in playing piano, she seemed to have the talent naturally. And now, Patricia wouldn't even try to envy Piper, it seemed to go naturally for her as well.
At six years old, Patricia became tired of Piper, tired of being her, tired of seeing the same sweet face every single day of her life! It didn't even please her to hear her parents' conversation go on like this:
"Patricia doesn't seem to be studying well, she seems to fail at everything" Victoria said to John, not knowing Patricia was still awake.
If you wouldn't compare me to Piper, I am studying well it's only because Piper is so perfect she has high scores when I only get one check missing all you do is scold me for not being her, and I am failing in everything because I do not want it! I do not want school, I do not want piano lessons and I don't want to be alive! Patricia thought to herself, I will run away.
And so she did. She ran away with no single thought about her family.
Not one thought.
